Perhaps a small Biometric safe/lockbox or similarly VERY secure method that sits in a locked drawer. Maybe such a lockbox/safe could be placed in an administrator's office where students don't typically visit/reside. I think there are reasonable solutions for securing a firearm from even determined students.

I don't know, I'm just sort of spitballing this idea here. So far, I don't see a downside.
